“Feminism is not simply a struggle to end male chauvinism or a movement to ensure that women have equal rights with men; It is a commitment to eradicating the ideology of domination that permeates Western culture on various levels - sex, race, class to name a few - and a commitment to reorganizing
USsociety so that the self-development of people can take precedence over imperialism, economic expansion and material desires.”- bell hooks gets it right.
Well sure, I agree, but… just western cultures? And just US society? Is this one of those quotes that when taken out of context just makes feminism look all the more of a white, western privileged issue?
p.s. hi tumblr. i’ve missed you.
